16th November sees the release of Merrie Land, the second album from The Good, The Bad & The Queen, a band comprised of Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Tony Allen and Simon Tong.

Following an eleven-year hiatus since their eponymous debut, the four musical storytellers are back with Merrie Land, which will be self-released on the newly created label Studio 13. Produced by Tony Visconti and The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Merrie Land contains 10 new songs – written during the current period in which the UK is preparing to leave the European Union – creating a reluctant good- bye letter, a series of observations and reflections on Britishness in 2018. Merrie Land’s focus moves beyond GBQ’s London-themed first album to a wider land, with a beautiful and hopeful paean to the Britain of today, an inclusive Britain, currently in an Anglo-Saxostentialist crises at the end of a relationship, wondering what might be salvaged. Could there be a more perfect band – with their creative symbiosis of pasts and present and shared acclaimed music histories – to reflect on the anticipation, disorientation and confusion of current life.

The full track listing for Merrie Land is:
– Merrie Land
– Gun to the Head
– Nineteen Seventeen
– The Great Fire
– Lady Boston
– Drifters & Trawlers
– The Truce of Twilight
– Ribbons
– The Last Man to Leave
– The Poison Tree

December sees the band set out on tour for a run of UK shows, performing this collection of new songs live, for the very first time, in Blackpool, Glasgow and East London. Tickets go on sale this Friday 23rd October at 9am.

ABOUT The Good, The Bad & The Queen

The Good, The Bad & The Queen began life as the acclaimed 2007 album of the same name, a heartfelt tribute to London described by The Observer in a 5-star review as –“One of the most surprising and magical records for which Damon Albarn has ever been responsible”. The record traced a journey from the English music hall tradition to West Africa and Afrobeat, zigzagging through the West Indies and its reggae and dub, back to England and London’s punk scene, all the while taking in a strand of British beat music from the ’50s right through to Britpop. The result was a record specific to a place and mood but with a background that was geographically wide-ranging.

TWO NEW MILESTONES ADDED TO THE GRAMMY-WINNING ARCHIVE COLLECTION

TWO NEW MILESTONES ADDED TO THE GRAMMY-WINNING ARCHIVE COLLECTION

PAUL McCARTNEY AND WINGS: WILD LIFE
PAUL McCARTNEY AND WINGS: RED ROSE SPEEDWAY

LIMITED NUMBERED DELUXE EDITIONS TO INCLUDE REMASTERED ORIGINAL ALBUMS, BONUS TRACKS, PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED DEMOS, RARE AND NEVER BEFORE SEEN VIDEO, EXCLUSIVE BOOKS FEATURING NEW INTERVIEWS WITH PAUL, PHOTOS, ARTWORK, & MUCH MORE

TO BE RELEASED DECEMBER 7, 2018 VIA MPL/CAPITOL/UMe

Paul McCartney proudly announces the 11th and 12th classic works from his revered catalogue to be remastered, reissued and expanded across multi-format installments of his GRAMMY-winning
Archive Collection, to be released December 7, 2018 via MPL/Capitol/UMe.

First up is the four-disc (3CD, 1DVD) limited deluxe edition of Wild Life, the debut album from Wings, originally released December 1971. Written by Paul and Linda McCartney (with the exception of a
cover of Mickey & Sylvia’s ‘Love Is Strange’), Wild Life is beloved by fans for its raw and direct vibe–having been recorded in just over a week with the majority of tracks laid down in a single take. Wild
Life’s limited deluxe edition treatment features the full album remastered at Abbey Road plus 25 bonus audio tracks including rough mixes of the album, original single edits, B-sides, home
recordings and other previously unreleased material across three CDs. The set’s DVD features rare footage of acoustic home videos, rehearsals and more. The Wild Life deluxe package includes a 128-
page book written by David Fricke telling the story behind the album – including track-by-track information and new interviews with Paul and key album personnel, a 48-page scrapbook of tour diaries, lyrics and set lists, unpublished Polaroids, lyrics, notes and memorabilia from the MPL archives. Wild Life’s download redemption card will provide access to all audio in HD 24/96kHz unlimited high-resolution versions.

Next up is a six-disc (3CD, 2DVD + 1Blu-ray) numbered limited deluxe edition of the second Wings album and first credited to Paul McCartney and Wings, Red Rose Speedway. Released in April 1973
and featuring the #1 single ‘My Love,’ Red Rose Speedway was the first Wings album to hit #1 on the U.S. chart. The Red Rose Speedway limited deluxe edition features three discs of audio including the original album remastered at Abbey Road, no less than 35 bonus audio tracks, including a reconstruction of the originally conceived double album version of Red Rose Speedway, singles, B-
sides, alternate mixes and previously unreleased tracks. The 2DVD + Blu-ray portions of the deluxe are packed with rare and previously unseen footage, including the James Paul McCartney TV Special,
interviews and music videos, as well as the never before seen film The Bruce McMouse Show–fully restored and remixed in stereo and 5.1 surround sound. The package includes a folio containing 14
replica hand drawn original character sketches by Paul and facsimile dialogue sheets for the film, a 128-page book containing many previously unpublished images by Linda McCartney, expanded
album and single artwork from the archives and story behind the album — including new interviews with Paul McCartney, and key album personnel — and track-by-track information, written by
Amanda Petrusich, five replica handwritten lyric sheets and photo print, a 64-page ‘Wings In Morocco’ photo book, all housed in a numbered outer slipcase. The Red Rose Speedway download
redemption card will provide access to all audio in HD 24/96kHz unlimited high-resolution versions.

Finally, the 11-disc Paul McCartney and Wings 1971–73 numbered limited edition super deluxe compilation features not only the entire contents of the Wild Life four-disc numbered limited deluxe
edition and of the Red Rose Speedway 6-disc numbered limited deluxe edition—but also the exclusive live album, Wings Over Europe. This exclusive collection features 20 previously unreleased, newly mixed live tracks recorded over the course of 5 shows, an introduction featuring Paul recounting memories of the 1972 tour, a 96-page photo book including previously unreleased images by Linda McCartney and Captain Snap, a replica of the 1972 Wings Over Europe tour program, and access to downloadable 24/96kHz unlimited high-resolution audio versions.

The Paul McCartney Archive Collection debuted with the November 2, 2010 re-release of Paul McCartney and Wings’ 1973 milestone Band on the Run, which won the 2010 GRAMMY Award for Best Historical Album, while the Archive Collection’s Deluxe Edition Box Set of the 1976 classic Wings Over America took the 2013 GRAMMY for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. The most recent previous installment was 2017’s reissue of Paul’s eighth studio album Flowers In The Dirt, which ROLLING STONE called “spectacular…  an extraordinary document,” and the OBSERVER hailed as “perhaps the greatest record to emerge from the world of AOR in 1989… an absolute pleasure to rediscover today.”

Every release in the ongoing Paul McCartney Archive Collection is supervised by Paul himself, who oversees all aspects of each and every title from remastering to the curation of lost tracks, outtakes,
artwork, photographs and video from his personal vaults, and much more. The result is one of the most ambitious and personal undertakings of its kind, one that encompasses more than 40 years of cherished, classic material from the most successful songwriter and recording artist in music history.
See below for the Deluxe Edition track listings.

THOM YORKE “OPEN AGAIN” FOURTH TRACK RELEASED IN ADVANCE OF SUSPIRIA (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film)

THOM YORKE 

“OPEN AGAIN”

FOURTH TRACK RELEASED IN ADVANCE OF SUSPIRIA (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film)

ALBUM OUT OCTOBER 26 ON XL RECORDINGS

Animated Video by Ruff Mercy Live Now

Last night saw the release of the acoustic guitar and vocal ballad “Open Again,” the fourth song to be released in advance of Thom Yorke’s Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film).  “Open Again” follows the release of “Volk”—”a synth-laden and creepy instrumental that harkens back to the sounds of new wave foreign movies and horror classics of the ’70s and ’80s” (Consequence of Sound), “unsettling” (NPR) second track “Has Ended,” and first single “Suspirium”—described by The New York Times as “sweetly chilling” and Rolling Stone as “peak Yorke, and scary good.”

Watch ‘Open Again’ visual here – https://youtu.be/F_RdZncHwKw

Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film) will be released October 26 on XL Recordings.

Suspiria… consists of 25 original compositions written by Thom specifically for Luca Guadagnino’s reimagining of the 1977 Dario Argento horror classic. The album is a mix of instrumental score work, interstitial pieces and interludes, and more traditional song structures featuring Thom’s vocals including the new “Open Again” and previously released “Suspirium,” the latter featuring the melodic theme that recurs throughout the film and its score.

As scoring a horror film presented Thom with altogether new challenges and opportunities, Suspiria stands apart from any of his other work. Piano/vocal ballads, Krautrock-esque modular synth work inspired by the film’s Berlin 1977 setting, multilayered vocals, and melodies that convey terror, longing and melancholy combine to create a chaotic yet cohesive musical spell.

Suspiria was written and arranged by Thom Yorke, recorded and produced by Thom and Sam Petts-Davies. The album also features the London Contemporary Orchestra and Choir, Noah Yorke on drums on “Volk” and “Has Ended,” and Pasha Mansurov on solo flute on “Suspirium.”

Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film) will be available across digital platforms, as well as 2-LP gatefold package pink vinyl and 2-CD physical versions.

MassEducation: Reimagining of MASSEDUCTION Out Now on Loma Vista

Following the release of her new album MassEducation, as well as her stunning performance during Jimmy Kimmel Live’s Brooklyn week—accompanied only by piano player Thomas Bartlett—St. Vincent confirms an intimate evening at Brooklyn’s esteemed BAM Harvey Theater on November 20th.

Audiences fortunate enough to have beheld the inspiring duo of Annie Clarke’s vocals and Bartlett’s mercurial playing live have been left dazzled, with critics praising the recent date at The Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles:

“She’s always defied expectations, and this show was no exception…it was a concert as powerful, rocking, compelling and strident as anything she’s ever done…she’s a versatile and powerful singer who can leap vocally, not unlike Bowie…she hasn’t reinvented songs — but has breathed new fire into them… to create new possibilities.”—AMERICAN SONGWRITER

“Her stage presence is a piece of art in its own right…in St. Vincent’s hands, nothing feels minor… It’s not just that she can do anything she tries, it’s that she does it well enough to make you reconsider everything you know about her… one of the most important contemporary musicians we have.”—UPROXX

Tickets to the BAM Harvey Theater performance will go on sale this Friday, October 19th at 10am EST, available here: http://bam.org/stvincent

St. Vincent’s new album MassEducation is out now on Loma Vista. Heralded by Entertainment Weekly as “riveting reinterpretations…exposed and unadorned, her pipes shine like never before — and infuse these old songs with fresh intensity, at times imbuing them with entirely new character…a testament to her versatile songwriting and remarkable vocal strength,” MassEducation is in fact another dimension of last year’s universally acclaimed MASSEDUCTION. Recorded live in the studio over two nights in 2017, MassEducation lays bare the exquisite songcraft of its other half. Performed entirely by Annie Clark on vocals and Thomas Bartlett on piano, the new album renders songs like “Young Lover” and “Fear The Future” and their subjects in vivid, vulnerable new light. Clark herself describes the album as “two dear friends playing songs together with the kind of secret understanding one can only get through endless nights in New York City.”

Jimmy Kimmel Live Brooklyn Week Appearance October 16

St. Vincent’s new album MassEducation is available as of today, October 12, on Loma Vista Recordings (incidentally, the one year anniversary of the release of her previous MASSEDUCTION).

A stunning standalone work in its own right, MassEducation is in fact another dimension of last year’s universally acclaimed MASSEDUCTION. Recorded live in the studio over two nights in 2017, MassEducation lays bare the exquisite songcraft of its other half. Performed entirely by Annie Clark on vocals and Thomas Bartlett on piano, the new album renders songs like “Young Lover” and “Fear The Future” and their subjects in vivid, vulnerable new light. Clark herself describes the album as “two dear friends playing songs together with the kind of secret understanding one can only get through endless nights in New York City.”

At the same time that MassEducation was released, a live video of the new album’s arrangement of “Savior” premiered. Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait and mixed by Adam Jackson, the “Savior” clip features Clark and Bartlett in an intimate and arresting performance shot live at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles—a night that moved UPROXX to comment “with a new version of MASSEDUCTION on the horizon, those songs will instantly find their place as more essential work. It’s not just that she can do anything she tries, it’s that she does it well enough to make you reconsider everything you know about her.”

The duo of Clark and Bartlett will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live this Tuesday, October 16, playing a selection of MassEducation material as part of the show’s annual Brooklyn week event.

St. Vincent and her band—Toko Yasuda (bass, background vocals), Daniel Mintseris (keyboard) and Matt Johnson (drums)—will continue playing full-band shows including a Sunday, October 14 Austin City Limits Festival second weekend, as well as an October 29 headline engagement at the Hollywood Palladium.

Reimagining of MASSEDUCTION Out October 12 on Loma Vista

Heralded by the release of “Slow Slow Disco” and the out of thin air appearance of new instant grat track “Savior,” St. Vincent’s new album MassEducation is now available for pre-order in advance of its October 12 release on Loma Vista Recordings.

A stunning standalone work in its own right, MassEducation is in fact another dimension of last year’s universally acclaimed MASSEDUCTION. Recorded live in the studio over two nights in August 2017 while at Reservoir Studios NYC mixing MASSEDUCTION, MassEducation lays bare the exquisite songcraft of its other half. Performed entirely by Annie Clark on vocals and Thomas Bartlett on piano, the new album renders songs like “Young Lover” and “Fear The Future” and their subjects in vivid, vulnerable new light. Clark herself describes the album as “two dear friends playing songs together with the kind of secret understanding one can only get through endless nights in New York City.”

MassEducation’s arrangements were debuted to the public over the course of two intimate evenings with Clark and Bartlett October 2 at The Belasco Theater in Los Angeles and September 4 at London’s Cadogan Hall—the latter moving Q magazine to state “… a showcase of both straightforward songcraft and unmediated stage presence, this evening was undoubtedly a victory.”

The complete track listing for MassEducation is:

  1. Slow Disco
  2. Savior
  3. Masseduction
  4. Sugarboy
  5. Fear The Future
  6. Smoking Section
  7. Los Ageless
  8. New York
  9. Young Lover
  10. Happy Birthday, Johnny
  11. Pills
  12. Hang On Me

St. Vincent and her band—Toko Yasuda (bass, background vocals), Daniel Mintseris (keyboard) and Matt Johnson (drums)—will reconvene for a run of full-band shows beginning with an October 5 late night headline show ringing in this year’s Austin City Limits Festival’s opening weekend.

St. Vincent and band will also appear on the season premiere of Austin City Limits television on PBS October 6.

Suspiria was written and arranged by Thom Yorke, recorded and produced by Thom and Sam Petts-Davies. The album also features the London Contemporary Orchestra and Choir, Noah Yorke on drums on “Volk” and “Has Ended,” and Pasha Mansurov on solo flute on “Suspirium.”

Suspiria (Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film) will be available across digital platforms, as well as 2-LP gatefold package pink vinyl and 2-CD physical versions. For further information go to http://x-l-r.co/suspiria

ST. VICIOUS DJ SET TONIGHT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL

St. Vincent has confirmed an intimate evening unlike any of her previous public performances in the U.S., taking place October 2 in Los Angeles.

For one night only the musician also known as Annie Clark will sing a full set at the intimate Belasco Theater accompanied only by piano player Thomas Bartlett.

The Belasco engagement follows St. Vincent’s up close and personal September 4 show at London’s Cadogan Hall—an achievement that highlights another new dimension of this multifaceted artist, and that moved Q magazine to state “… a showcase of both straightforward songcraft and unmediated stage presence, this evening was undoubtedly a victory.”

In addition to the announcement of the Belasco Theater show, St. Vincent and her band—Toko Yasuda (bass, background vocals), Daniel Mintseris (keyboard) and Matt Johnson (drums)—will headline the Hollywood Palladium on October 29.

Fans who wish to attend the two unique performances will be able to purchase a specially priced ticket bundle while supplies last.

Ticket bundles that include entrance to both shows are available here by selecting “General Admission Bundle – Belasco & Palladium”: https://found.ee/STV_Palladium

Today also sees the release of the new St. Vincent song “Slow Slow Disco,” available now on all streaming and digital platforms. Of this latest identity of “Slow Disco” from last year’s acclaimed Masseduction, St. Vincent says, “Songs are living things. They grow, they evolve, they change their moods and personalities over time.”

Finally, Annie Clark will celebrate her birthday with a DJ set under her St. Vicious alias as special guest of Beck at the Hollywood Bowl.
